I came across these renderings for the brick building next to thr empty lot on the southern side of Newark Avenue.

The developer is looking to get approval to build a seven story extension that will front Columbus. From the renderings you can see store fronts and outdoor seating fronting a paved paseo connecting Newark and Columbus.

What do people think of the design?

worst part of that rendering is that the new development is next to a "valu-mart" rofl

sad, just sad

Would anyone buy a basement/1st floor brownstone in a flood zone if it was $150k under market value?? The property had 6 feet of water during sandy but has been 100% gutted and redone

Did it stay dry when we had 4 inches of rain last week? Lots of Downtown didn't. How about Irene? It would still take stones to buy it, but at least your odds would be better. Care to name a nearby crosstreet? That would bring out lots more info.

Stay far, far away...... They will hit you with extra fees galore. Even for garbage. Management sucks & they don't care. The place is mostly for foreigners who come here for a yr or so & people are always moving in & out like crazy.
Courtyard too is very noisy & echos through the whole complex.
Also Gary, one of the doormen is the biggest jerk you ever want to meet. All the others are great but they know & agree about Gary. He must have some info on someone because he would of been fired years ago. Everyone complains about him.

Prewar building (older), elevator (maintenance).

$632 is outrageous and you should look elsewhere.

My understanding is that if an individual's home address (specifically new construction) has parking the Parking Authority will NOT issue an individual a zone parking pass rather require you to park int he building (regardless of the parking fee building may charge).

Real Estate::advice for owner on renting out apt?
My understanding is that management co's take no more than 10% of rent, seems like a good deal compared to leaving it vacant. Technically, one needs a real estate license to be in that business.

The Bronx more expensive? In what world?

A world you are not familiar with, in the worst section of the Bronx 10453 homes start @ 499, 000.00 the worst part of JC homes are 49, 000

I'm having a hard time believing that. and 49k for a house in JC? Come one now we're not Detroit. I would have understood 90k at least. 500k for a house in the worst part of the Bronx? I highly doubt that they are in the worst part. I've been to "the worst parts" of the Bronx. If somebody pays that much for a house in those sections, God help them.

If you say so, my neighbor just purchased an investment property on MLK for 54k while the same building in The Bronx Hunters Point would have gone for 340k
